DEMO Low Tide (not-so Shallow Water)

Another Low Tide, but I used a 470p for C27 to increase the delay time for some wider pitch shifts, and a little less subtlety overall.
There's also a 2SK30 in q1, and it's not a huge difference, but is less gainy than the j201s I'd normally use in this spot

It's a PedalPCB board, so you already know that shit tight. You like wobbles? Build one, yo

Beautiful work. That ground though

Remind me how you stamp the labels?

For this one, I used Pegz stamps, and Staz-On opaque solvent ink

Didn't feel like making another thread, so piggybacking these guys.

I put delay cap on a switch, so it goes from the stock 220p to 550p. 2SK30 for Q1

Nice!
Did the 470pF change the delay much on the other side of the speed spectrum?
Better to put 470 and 220 on an SPDT?

Oh nice! I do love my Low Tide mini. Might have to try this if I can muster the courage to open it back up

It doesn't effect the speed, it widens pitch shifting / depth. I didn't put it on a toggle in the big one because that one was for me, and I prefer the less subtle nature of the 470p

Many thanks!
Will try to test if I would like it. Either as a change or as an SPDT option (knowing myself it will be the latter).
I wish there was some type of cables you could fit in an eyelet on a pcb that would stick/stay and connect the other end to breadboard. I can do socket, but prefer to decide first.

It's not for everyone, but when testing parallel parts, I'll tack solder an SPDT and the additive part to the back of the stock component. If I like it, I'll remove the part and add the toggle.

For this particular case, you can also just leave out the 220p, and dry fit a few values to see what you like

What is tack solder?
I use tack (?) I think to keep things in place. It is like a grey mass sticky to put say posters on a wall when you are young and the poster of the month is more important that satins on the wallpaper...

Basically just a lap joint, I typically use them on the backs of the boards / trimmed component leads

Did you find much difference betwen 470pF and 550pF for the C27? (Big build)

Not a huge difference. When going larger, you do need to be mindful of clock noise, though. Could probably get away with 1n
